William John Patton

Billy used to say that he was my brother from another mother. He was a big part of our lives. He cared for me with my sister when I needed it. He loved to smoke meat and grill out. He loved to watch Packer games with all of us and play lots of other games. Pickling season came and Billy was right there as one of the best pickle packers at that table. There are so many memories. So many pictures. Billy is imprinted in all our hearts forever. May you fly high Billy. You will always be remembered. ❤

Bill will always hold a special place in my sister, Rosanne's and my heart. He and Michele helped drive us out to Idaho for my brother's funeral. Their support and selfless caring bonded our love and friendship. When he came to visit, Bill and I always had a friendly cooking competition. Bill also enjoyed times fishing with my Dad and brother. Michele and Bill have shared so many good times with us and brought comfort during difficult times. We are lucky to have had the opportunity to know and develop a friendship with Bill. He was a special person. We are sending our thoughts and prayers to all of his family and friends.

I can't believe you are gone. You were a great neighbor but most of all a great friend. We will miss our chats and seeing your cheery face. I hope wherever you are that you are now happy and at peace. We will never forget you Bill! Until we meet again. The Obara Family

I wasn't able to share any photos so I will try from here. Bill was a great person, friend, and spirit with alot of love in his heart. We had the honor of being Bill and his beautiful companion Mitches neighbors for several years. I remember it was early in the morning and I was out in front of our houses trying to help a huge turtle. And I couldn't pick him up by myself and Bill came out and helped. He did that frequently. It just goes to show you how special of a person he was. We will miss you ever so much. Stacia, Jason, Malachi.
